In this article the author gives a creative and critical appreciation of the Papal Address a t the University of Regensburg on “Faith, Reason and the University”. After study-­ ing the various reactions to the talks, especially from the Mus-­ lims, the author respectfully shares some of his reflections on the Address of the Pope, and deals with the issue of seculariza­- tion. This analysis and the reflections are offered with frank­ ness, honesty and respect, as part of the “dialogue of cultures” and religions, to which Benedict XVI invited us, in the last para­ graph of his address a t the University of Regensburg and in his subsequent apology, and for which he has since been repeatedly calling. May it be read in this spirit
